After listening to this comment in my earlier post, I finally installed Linux in my new machine. I have almost set up everything for my use case save for support for playing Minecraft.

While many Linux switchers are keen to having maximum support and optimization for games, I don’t look forward to the same. I plan to having Minecraft as my one and only game in this machine and want to have as minimal dependencies set up for playing it as possible.

I intend to use the fabric version of MC with mod support on my machine with Iris Xe GPU. I am also comfortable with using a different launcher aside from the default one if it is safe and better to do so.

Could someone give me guidance on how I go around installing Minecraft according to my needs?

    You can just download the offical Minecraft launcher for Linux but do yourself a favor and grab Prismlauncher. Even on Windows it’s just overall better.

    If I recall correctly Linux Mint has flatpak support out of the box so you should be able to download it from the flathub link on the offical Prismlauncher site.
